2. Even the smartest and most qualified job seekers need to get prepare for
job interviews. Why, you ask? Interviewing is a learned skill, and there
is no second opportunity to make an awesome impression. So study
these 10 mythologies to boost your interview skills.
1. Practice Good Nonverbal Communication
It's about demonstrating confidence: standing straight, making
eye contact and connecting with a firm handshake. That first
nonverbal impression can be a great beginning - or quick ending
- to your interview.
2. Dress for the Job or Company
It is important to know what to wear to an interview and to be
well-groomed. Whether you wear a suit or something less formal
depends on the company culture and the position you are
seeking. If possible, call to find out about the company dress
code before the interview.
3. 3. Listen Carefully
From the very beginning of the interview, your interviewer is
giving you information, either directly or indirectly. If you are not
hearing it, you are missing a major opportunity. Good
communication skills include listening and letting the person
know you heard what was said.
4. Don't Talk Too Much
Telling the interviewer more than he needs to know could be a
fatal mistake. Prepare for the interview by reading through the
job posting, matching your skills with the position's requirements
and relating only that information.
4. 5. Don't Be Too Familiar
The interview is a professional meeting to talk business. Your
level of familiarity should mimic the interviewer's demeanor. It is
important to bring energy and enthusiasm to the interview and to
ask questions, but do not overstep your place as a candidate
looking for a job.
6. Use Appropriate Language
It's a given that you should use professional language during the
interview. Be aware of any inappropriate slang words or
references to age, race, religion, politics or sexual orientation -
these topics could send you out the door very quickly.
5. 7. Don't Be Cocky
Attitude plays a key role in your interview success. There is a
fine balance between confidence, professionalism and modesty.
Even if you're putting on a performance to demonstrate your
ability, overconfidence is as bad, if not worse, as being too
reserved.
8. Take Care to Answer the Questions
When interviewers ask for an example of a time when you did
something, they are asking behavioral interview questions, which
are designed to elicit a sample of your past behavior.
6. 9. Ask Questions
When asked if they have any questions, most candidates
answer, "No." Wrong answer. Part of knowing how to interview is
being ready to ask questions that demonstrate an interest in
what goes on in the company. Asking questions also gives you
the opportunity to find out if this is the right place for you.
10. Don't Appear Desperate
When you interview with the "please, please hire me" approach,
you appear desperate and less confident. Reflect the three Cs
during the interview: cool, calm and confidence. You know you
can do the job; make sure the interviewer believes you can, too.
